Irish Literature

About this subject

  • This subject will explore the role of Irish literature as a vehicle for articulating distinctive Irish identities and literary voices. The major focus will be on the literature of the Irish Literary Revival and the Anglo-Irish tradition during the years of emergent nationalism and the formation of the modern Irish state. We will also explore more recent cultural debates over the status of Irish literature and its relation to new writing.
